How Daisuke Yokota set Ibrox alight for Rangers vs Jagiellonia in Europa League
Daisuke Yokota has been highlighted as Rangers' key player against Jagellonia already.
The Light Blues took the lead early against the Polish side at Ibrox, to level the Europa League qualifier at 2-2.
Lawrence Shankland slotted home a penalty kick to score his first in a Gers shirt, but it was all about the Japanese winger.
It was his cross the forced Yuki Kobayashi to handle the ball in the area and get Derek McInnes' side back on par.
The Bears will face Iberia 1999 if they can get through the Bialystok-based side.
If they are to do that, the 26-year-old will be crucial to those attempts, after what has been seen in the first-half.
What was said about new Rangers star Daisuke Yokota?
Yokota was a livewire in the 2-1 defeat to Hibernian last time out and he continued his impressive form in European competition.
BBC journalist Tom English was blown away by his early showing, and felt like he was the difference maker for McInnes' side.
Speaking live on BBC Sportscene on Thursday, he said: “Yokota is the one that is making it all happen, bombing down the right, such positivity, such pace, such energy.
“I would imagine he is really lifting Ibrox with the things he is doing.
“It was his run that created the penalty, the cross, Kobayashi, the former Celtic player, tried to stoop, he misses the header it comes off his arm.”
The Bears fans have gotten their money worth out of the former Hannover 96 ace so far.
They will hope that can continue in the second-half and they can progress into the playoff round.
What do Rangers need to do in the second half?
The Bears have to be careful, they have conceded several chances in the opening 45 minutes.
Jesus Imaz in particular has been a bright spark for the Polish team, and on other day, would have made the hosts pay for their lapses in concentration.
They need to be defensively secure and make sure that they do not go too attacking to try and secure the win.
If they get caught out on the counter and allow the visitors to score, it may take the mood, which has been electrified by Yokota to be disrupted and that could affect the team.
They need momentum if they are to make it past the Chorten Arena and have a route to the group stages of the competition.
Dropping down to the Europa Conference League would be dismal, as the Gers do not belong in the third-tier tournament, they need to ensure that they get the job done.
